Ever since Servini's coronation, the question of the Lampari Kingdom's heir to the throne had troubled countless people throughout the kingdom.
With Lampari the Thirteenth and King Eric dead and Servini on the throne, the only other members of the Lampari Kingdom's royal family with succession rights were Servini's second brother, Prince Miham, and Eric's only surviving son, Prince William.
Although Prince Miham was already married, he had no children yet, while Her Majesty Queen Servini had not even married.

Various newspapers throughout the Lampari Kingdom debated the issue, ultimately reaching the same conclusion.
